DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

Me tooMaggiebloome - I too have a tooth in my wallet, but mine is one i found from one of my koi carp.
I need a life.
Aaanyhoo, main story time.
I had to go to hospital to have part of my upper jaw drilled away, due to an abcess caused by an infected root in a tooth that had accidently helped stop a fast moving cricket ball ten years previously (resulting in tears, blood, pain, a bit of wee and lots of dental visits. Top cricket tip - use your hands not your face when wicketkeeping, it hurts less).
I had to have seven injections in my mouth. The six in my top gums were ok painwise, but the one into the roof of my mouth was the most painful injection i have ever had. Several unintentional tears appeared instantly in my eyes, causing the dentist to ask 'Sorry, did that hurt?', with the reply ' yymff eef fuurrken dddd'
Anyway, the roof of my mouth got sliced open, as well as my front gum, everything got pulled back, bone got drilled out and i got stitched back up.
Then i had to go to the hospital pharmacy to get antobiotics etc. The young lady came to the counter and smiled nicely at me. I smiled back, and she screamed.
'have you just had a mouth operation?'
'yes, why'
'because you look like a vampire after a meal, and blood is dripping down onto your shirt'.
I had wondered why people were letting me walk down the corridors without having to move to one side.
